What do you see in your community? Is there trash in your neighborhood? Do you wish there were more parks or play areas for you and other children? Are there lots of stray animals? Talk to other kids, your parents, your teachers. and other adults about the problem and why it exists. Read the newspaper or watch the news. Here are some questions to ask yourself and others.   What interests and abilities do you have? Think about what you're good at and what you like to do? Do you like to talk? Do you play a sport? Do you have a hobby? If you connect your volunteer idea to your interests and abilities you will get more out of your project. For example, if you love animals you could organize a pet-walk-a-thon to raise money for a local animal shelter. On a seperate piece of paper, jot down all of your talents, hobbies and interests. Then pick a problem. and see if you think of a way to use your interests and abilities to help fix or solve that problem.
